The word "harem" is used to refer to a man's collection of "wives,
concubines, women servants, etc." Although I have seen this word many
times, I have never seen a word for a woman's collection of husbands,
male servants and such. Does anyone know of such a word?

Please MAIL me your wisdom on this subject.

p.s. A female friend of mine currently finishing up a degree in Computer
Science suggested "Computer Science Department" when I asked her this.
